Jason Aldean headlines CMT tour, Lady Antebellum opens

Wednesday, August 13, 2008 – Jason Aldean will headline this fall's CMT on Tour with help from Lady Antebellum. With stops scheduled in 20 markets across the country, the tour includes a number of college towns, whose young crowds make up the majority of Aldean's fan base. Tickets for the first weekend are on sale Aug. 22 and available at cmtontour.cmt.com or Ticketmaster.com.

Aldean has enjoyed hits starting with "Hicktown." Lady Antebellum's debut album landed at number one on the Billboard chart earlier this year. Newcomer Eric Durrance (Wind-up Nashville) has been tapped for the opening slot.

"It is such a surreal feeling to look behind the bus and see semi trucks with my name on them," said Aldean. "Even as this thing grows, our fans are the same young kids that have always come out to the club shows. They come to forget about school or work or whatever and have a good time, so that's what we are going to give them!"

CD reviews for Jason Aldean

Macon, Georgia
Jason Aldean's 10th studio album "Georgia "initially seems like yeoman's effort. As the second half of a double album that follows last year's "Macon," the collection boasts 30 songs; 20 are new. It is a more than a respectable length for a single album. The remainder of the effort is padded with live tracks. The obvious question is why so long? In Adean's case, he said he has always leaned toward having more songs than less. Upon a sit down listen you get ...

CD review - 9 Hollywood may be pushing a broadminded agenda where there are more genders than one can even count, but in Jason Aldean's world, there are only two: tough guys, and the women that love them. There's no confusion it's a guy in the "Camouflage Hat," for example. Also, nothing is said or done without also washing it down with alcohol. The opener,"Tattoos and Tequila," breaks it down into tattoos to remember, and tequila to forget. Within its booze for every ...
Rearview Town
CD review - Rearview Town If you liked Jason Aldean's three previous number one albums, you'll like "Rearview Town." He sticks to the winning formula that has brought him past success. The 15 tracks are mainly juiced up, muscular numbers with scorching guitar. Ironically, amid the torrid tempos and high volume that dominate the collection, the ballads are the standouts, especially with the duet with the Miranda Lambert on "Drowns The Whiskey." Instead of whiskey drowning a memory, the inverse ...
